Very surprised they didn't change the lower part of the front bumper more. I thought that was the weakest part of the design.

Rear = Fantastic.

Front = Doesn't do much for me. Nothing new.

Since I find CLS to be an ugly car it wont come as a surprise that this "little" facelift wont change my mind about this car.

I would add the grey air intakes.

The new Comand looks extremely promising, can'wait to see a pic of the whole interior.
Not really sure about this new steering, a bit too sporty and less elegant than the previous. Let's wait the interior pics...

All in all, this is a very small FL, even the bumpers or lights hardly evolved...But the CLS did not need a FL, so it is good like that. i just hope the steering will harmonize well ihn this interior...

I have to see it IRL, because I'm not so sure about the two-bars grille either...The rear looks fabulous, the new lights and exhausts are a masterpiece.

Funny, I love that car so much that I am not sure about the changes...can't wait to see it IRL, because this is one of the most beautiful sedans ever created for me. I adore the CLS, also the inside is gorgeous...

This is the best interior shot, I could find:



New rearlights look great...

The steering wheel is attractive but I hope that there will be other choices with a bit more luxurious flair. The one in the picture is begging for wood.
